Web3 is about rearchitecting existing traditional services + products to benefit people, rather than entities.

@MessariCrypto featured Ocean Protocol in their 2021 'What is web3" report. https://messari.io/report/web3-eli5-what-is-web3

In 2023: Companies vs Protocols is more relevant now then ever.

We're happy to share: control over the OCEAN token contract will be revoked soon.

Remaining OCEAN will be minted, to vest to community over decades.

OCEAN will be fully decentralized and unpausable.

Two posts have detail. First, an overview👇

The second post has all the technical details of the OCEAN token actions 👇

(And there will be an AMA, read on:)

From the day we first launched, Ocean's mission has been to level the playing field around data & AI.

For that, we need to get fully decentralized.

This is another step towards that journey.

In 2019, 613M (43.5%) OCEAN was minted with the majority distributed to token acquirors, Ocean community via grants and Ocean Protocol Fd'n for admin&ops.

56.5% remained. As of May 2023, it will be minted for community.

The unminted 56.5% (797M OCEAN) OCEAN will be minted for community incentives programs.

Data Farming is big kahuna here. It's now stable enough to be ready for its budgeted OCEAN, which vests over decades.

Ocean Data Farming incentivizes for data consume volume, with an element of staking that in turn helps data curation

It hit its final phase -- DF Main -- a couple months back. This post👇 has details.

Data Farming Main phase has several implementation steps, as this image shows. The "Control over OCEAN .. Technical" post details.

As before: Ocean long-term incentives and OCEAN token design go hand-in-hand.

More Q's?
The two new "Control over OCEAN" blog posts linked above have great detail.

More Q's yet?
We've got an AMA for you! Thu May 25 at 12.30pm UTC with @trentmc0 @BrucePon and @alexcos20

Summary:
- control over OCEAN will be revoked soon
- remaining 56.5% of OCEAN will be minted, to vest to community over decades. Data Farming, more

Any enterprise, government or person can utilize the compute-to-data tool to perform calculations on a dataset without exposing the underlying data.

How could your industry utilize compute to data (C2D)? Let us know below 👇🏽

Web3 has revolutionized the way society interacts with digital content, enabling creators to directly monetize their assets.

Yet, it’s still fairly complicated to own assets in a fully trustless & decentralised way.

This changes with ocean templates

Let's dive in👇

Ocean Gate by ocean templates is a toolkit to crank out next-gen dApps in no time🤖

It offers a powerful set of open-source features that merge together ERC721 and ERC20 tokens to allow businesses to scale & unlock new revenue streams🚀

It allows creators to set custom access to their content by minting ERC20 tokens against their respective ERC721.

This allows to set up tiered time-sensitive access models where users can access premium content for a limited period of time, by holding a specific token🤩

We will gather to discuss the success of full decentralization and unpausability for OCEAN, in AMA style, on Twitter Spaces.

Crypto Twitter will have Questions. Tweet your Q with the hashtag #OceanTokenAMA

The future of Capital Markets is Tokenization

Asset tokenization details the process of converting a real-world asset into a digital asset that can exchanged and stored on a blockchain.

They start with tokenizing securities. Then, they tokenize the data. This is where & why Ocean exists as a general purpose technology.

One core use case of Ocean Protocol's open source technology stack is token gating. Our stack is well positioned to support global adoption and accessibility to traditionally gridlocked products, services and assets.

Inside Ocean Protocol is a grants program, called Shipyard. Shipyard is driven by a thesis to help empower web3 entrepreneurs build on Ocean Protocol open source technology.

🧠 @Brainstemhealth has completed a Shipyard Grant milestone: Peer to Peer health data sharing.

The vision for the company is to contribute to health democratization and sharing of data.

🫁Brainstem Health helps this and offers a suite of data sharing capabilities:
one to one
many to one
many to many

The product offering is a wearable health technology. This contends and competes with the fitbit, apple watch and legacy smart watches of the world.

Innovative & data driven projects are encouraged to apply to Shipyard. To apply, visit https://oceanprotocol.com/shipyard to consider building technology that favors individuals, instead of talking head corporations.

The Ocean Token (0x967) is now fully minted and all control has been revoked.

AI has drawn the eyes of business and society in 2023, with the support of ChatGPT and generative AI art.

At Ocean Protocol, this is nothing new under the sun.

Dated back to 2016, Trent writes about principals of AI ‘waking up’ a lot sooner than the world may anticipate.

Imagine a world where all the tunes you made 🎺 were always owned by you, and verified that you, the author, was always the owner.

The Ocean Protocol NFT music marketplace repo is the perfect way to build a decentralized music ecosystem.

With Ocean waves, users can create a marketplace where musicians can sell their music directly to fans, without the need for middlemen. Developers can explore the reality of this concept with a template viewable here https://github.com/oceanprotocol/waves
